2. Bobby Jo Long( a serial killer) killed women he
characterized as whores and sluts, who he said
reminded him of his own mom.
3. Henry Lee Lucas also suffered gender
confusion as a child.
his mother dressed him as a girl until he was 7.
He had long hair as a girl & once her mother
beaten him senselessly after he had his hair cut
because his teacher complained.
4. It is usually the sadistically disciplinarian
father that pops up in the serial killer's family
tree.
5. John Gacy's ( a serial killer) dad berated him
frequently calling him a sissy, queer, and a
failure.
Gacy's father beat his mother, and shot his
son's beloved dog to punish young John.
6. Albert DeSalvo's ( a serial killer) father would
bring home prostitutes and brutally beat his
mother, breaking her fingers one by one as young
Albert helplessly watched.
7. Adoption
Adoption as a potential contribution to the
serial killer's motivation is fascinating because
it creates two questions.
8. The first one is that the biological parents may
have left their child with deviant genes.
Secondly If the child actually meets his
biological parent and is again rejected, then the
damage is worse.
9. If someone comes to know that he/she was
adopted then they start fantasizing questions
like:
Was the father a gangster? A hero? And why
did they "reject" their child?
10. Some lust murderers claim that exposure to
violent events ignited their thirst for blood.
Ed Gein, among others, said that seeing farm
animals slaughtered gave him perverted ideas.
11. Both Albert Fish and Andrei Chikatilo blamed
their sadistic bloodlust on frightening
childhood stories.
12. For different reasons, many multiple
murderers are isolated as children
Lucas, who was already a shy child, was
ridiculed because of his artificial eye. He later
said that this mass rejection caused him to hate
everyone.
13. Kenneth Bianchi was also a child loner, with
many problems. One clinical report said that
"the boy drips urine in his pants, doesn't make
friends very easily and The other children
make fun of him.
Resulted the isolation grows more severe, the
reliance on fantasies, especially destructive
ones.
14. Every serial killer has his or her unique way of
killing their victim.
Behind every murder there is always a reason,
motive, thinking and psyche that an individual
hold in his whole thought process.
Every victim becomes a target of either revenge
or pure obsession.
15. All serial killers try to execute their prey in a
manner that satisfies them psychologically and
physiologically.
Serials killers mostly have a history behind
them.
Most of these serial killers usually have
experienced divorce, separation, or the lack of
parent and some of them have experienced
physical or sexual abuse and even more have
emotional neglect.
16. Psychopaths identify with the aggressive role
model, such as an abusive parent, and attack
the weaker, more vulnerable self by projecting
it onto others.
17. As multiple murderer Dennis Nilsen put it, "I
was killing myself only but it was always the
bystander who died.“
Dr. Meloy writes that in early childhood
development, there is a split in the infant
psychopath: the "soft me" which is the
vulnerable inside, and the "hard not-me" which
is the intrusive, punishing outside (neglectful
or painful experiences.)
